Ok, suppose someone can touch type. The world record is something like 600 key presses per minute, which is 10 41-byte TCP packets per second ~= 4 kbps.
When I go to Internet cafe's (I like Global Gossip), I connect my Ti-book to the local ethernet if at all possible (that's why I like Global Gossip) and use high bit rates (i.e., file transfers) in both direction.
Would the uploads be HTTP? That's the only thing I'd want to limit to a few kbps. (Well, and outgoing SMTP to 0 kbps.)
If I was limited to 4 kbps outbound, I would want my money back.
Just one customer viewpoint :)
Understandable. On the other hand, spammers using internet cafes isn't good either.
